j. E. Batchelder of Danville protest
ed against the regulation passed last
year relating to the entry of Devon
cattle, whereby the rules of the Amer
lean Devon cattle club were adopted
This regulation he claimed was made
for the special purpose of ruling out
his cattle. The association seemed tt
be of the same opinion and unanimous
ly voted to repeal the regulation. The
following is the regulation repealed:
That the committee be governed by
the rules of the American Devon cattle
i. club, i. e., All calves must be entered
within sixty days after being dropped
The ear label must be attached within
thirty days after it is received. AnC
g that the committee shall take the mum
s bers from the labels of each Devon, il
D their class, that are awarded premiums
On motion of Judge Parks it wa
. voted that the admission fee to the so
p ciety be so cents if paid at this meet
ing after the meeting that it be 5
r. except to exhibitors, who shall be ad
: mitted at the 50 cent rate. judge
+ Hovey favored charging SO cents fo
, the first exhibition and 25 cents fO
each additional exhibit. This wal
vigorously opposed by Parker Harve!
of Barnet and others and did not pass
Mr.. Harvey also entered prOtes
against the petty gambling that was
permitted on the fair ground, thu
n pitching of cOppers, etc. AS no on
n seconded the objection no action wa
: taken on the matter.
